Looking at a Verso?

Population figures cannot tell you whether one particular car is taxed, MOT-valid or safe to buy.

Check its registration free for the official tax, MOT and mileage record. If the car is still worth pursuing, the optional £9.99 full history check adds outstanding-finance, stolen and insurance write-off checks.

Wondering whether one particular Verso is off the road? A free SORN check shows whether it is currently SORN, taxed or untaxed.

Is the Verso disappearing?

Licensed numbers peaked at 30,744 in 2018 Q2 and stand at 26,140 in 2026 Q1, down 15%. That is down 12% in the five years since 2021 Q1. A further 1,070 are declared SORN — 1 in 25 of the 27,210 still on the DVLA record is off the road, laid up, part-restored or waiting to be sold.

A falling population is worth knowing before you buy: it usually means fewer donor cars, fewer specialists and slower parts supply, and it is why a good example of a scarce model can hold its price while a neglected one is hard to sell at any price.

Verso MOT pass rate

In 2024, 71.2% of 22,692 Toyota Verso MOTs passed first time — below the 71.2% UK average. Pass rate moves with age: 79.4% of cars aged 6–9 years passed first time, against 62.1% aged 15–30 years.

  • Position Lamps — 6.7% of tests. A side or tail light out. Usually a bulb.
  • Condition — 3.3% of tests. Corrosion, damage or wear on a tested component. Worth seeing in person, as the cost ranges from trivial to structural.
  • Anti-roll Bars — 3.3% of tests. Worn anti-roll bar links or bushes. Inexpensive but often recurring.
  • Headlamp Aim — 3.1% of tests. Headlights pointing too high or low. Cheap to adjust, and common on every make.
